Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a pattern of broad ribs on the sides, a roll moulding at the upper rim; one of the metal staples of the old cover locking system is still attached to the upper rim, while the one at the opposite end appears to have been broken off; raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base. Unlike the more accomplished font in the Iglesia de los Santos Justo y Pastor, also in Sepúlveda, this is the crude work of a local stone mason.
